The Road Trip Rewind
Up-and-coming screenwriter Beatrix Noel's dream project is finally a reality-her 90s-era script is in production. Less dreamy is the A-list actor in the starring role-none other than Rocco Riziero, who jilted Beatrix on New Year's Eve back in 1999. Without his celebrity status, the project would likely still be withering on her hard drive, but that doesn't mean Beatrix won't shame him at every opportunity on-set-especially when it becomes painfully obvious he doesn't even remember her . . .



Boxed-in as a Hollywood pretty-boy, Rocco is thrilled to tackle a genuinely dramatic role. But he's perplexed about why the screenwriter treats him like a maggot. And awkward becomes irksome when their bickering results in a car crash right outside the famed Roxy Theatre on Sunset Boulevard-site of the New Year's Eve party where everything went wrong . . .



Shockingly, Beatrix, Rocco, and the car, are uninjured. The twist? They're clearly, truly, somehow, still in December, still on Sunset-but in 1999. Their mission? They'll have to work together to correct their old mistakes-which just might bring them closer than either expects . . .

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for The Road Trip Rewind

"Kate and Danny Tamberelli have done it again! The Road Trip Rewind is another smart, fun, totally engaging rom-com that I could not put down. Not only is it full of the best 90s nostalgia moments, but it also offers a heartwarming look at the power of second chances for anyone who has ever wanted to redo the past. I loved every second of it!" —Falon Ballard, author of Right on Cue

“Alongside the whimsy, fun, and laughs of this delightful romcom, The Road Trip Rewind takes a compassionate look at the hard-won second chances we all deserve, and the ways in which we heal. With all the banter, heartfelt connection, and sizzling chemistry, I was cheering for Beatrix and Rocco until the ending credits rolled. Kate and Danny Tamberelli pair their top-notch humor and heart in this more-than-worthy sophomore romance. This is a writing duo with a magical spark and zero limitations. Readers won’t be able to get enough.” —Courtney Kae, author of In the Event of Love

“Delivers the perfect amount of ’90s nostalgia…I loved going on this journey.” —Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

Praise for The First Date Prophecy by Kate & Danny Tamberelli

“Will keep you entertained to the last page.” —Melissa Joan Hart

“A beautiful, fun, and complex love story.” —Screenwriters Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick)
 
“A joyous, nostalgic rom-com romp in which the authors’ love for each other dazzles through.” —Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft

“The real-life romance between the authors inspired this novel…Some excellent side characters, especially Lucy’s quirky landlords, and the understandably fraught relationship between Rudy and his hunky brother who stayed in Hollywood round out this well-written, sweet story with some heat. This ’90s nostalgia–tinged love story will leave rom-com fans smiling and swooning.” —Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

“Balancing laugh out loud comedy with heartfelt emotion, the first collaboration between married writing duo Kate Tamberelli and debut author Danny Tamberelli explores the pitfalls and frustrations of online dating…The characters’ eccentricities feel entirely authentic, while subplots about family drama and friend groups growing apart add nuance and poignancy to this sweet romp. Rom-com fans should snap this up.” —Publishers Weekly

“The First Date Prophecy is a gorgeous, inspiring, and hilarious tale that also somehow manages to incorporate all of my favorite snacks and beverages. Perhaps more importantly, it made me believe in love and Brooklyn again. There—I said it. If Kate and Danny don’t write another book together immediately, I will be completely enraged.” —Dave Hill, comedian and author of Parking the Moose

“I snorted once a page on average and sometimes involuntarily. Tom Robbins for the Tinder generation. The Tamberellis employ an uncommon attention to detail and tell their story from an intimate, at times cringe worthy perspective that elevates the comedy with the kind of lived in ring of truth all good writing has.” —Matt Doherty, actor, The Mighty Ducks and So I Married an Axe Murderer

“Vulnerable without being verbose, the authors are skilled at plumbing the depths of these characters and lend an air of self-assured authenticity to the courtship proceedings. You can both read The First Date Prophecy, but if you do it together at a bar, that would be a little…on the nose.” —Michael C. Maronna, actor, The Adventures of Pete and Pete and Home Alone

“A love story as delightful and idiosyncratic as its authors.” —Mara Wilson, actress, Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda

"As funny and charming as Kate and Danny are in real life, which says a lot." —Lane Moore, author of You Will Find Your People: How To Make Meaningful Friends As An Adult, and How To Be Alone

"A luminous, hilarious romance that is both equal parts magical and a heartwarming reminder that when it comes to love, we make our own fate." —Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care

"Lots of rom-com stories are heavy on the rom and light on the com. This one brings the COM! It also provided for many excellent squeals of delight as I rooted for the heroes. Unputdownable! I took it with me everywhere until I finished." —Marguerite Moreau, actress, Wet Hot American Summer and The Mighty Ducks
 
“Such a fun and satisfying read!!! It left me with a very warm feeling all around!” —Jo Firestone, comedian, actor and writer

"The Tamberelli's have spun a tale of pure nostalgic gold out of their love story for our joyous consumption. Warm, comedic, and utterly original." —Lauren Ho, author of Last Tang Standing and Lucie Yi Is Not A Romantic

JULY 2024 - AudioFile

Hollywood romance meets time travel in this rom-com from the husband-and-wife team of Kate and Danny Tamberelli. Narrators Mara Wilson and Danny Tamberelli portray Beatrix and Rocco, who are working on a film together. Suddenly, they find themselves catapulted 17 years into the past. Wilson's pleasant, emotive voice fits Beatrix as she works through complex emotions of grief and joy. Tamberelli's slightly nasal voice provides Rocco's point of view with a good mix of sincerity and comedy. As Rocco and Beatrix work together to understand their predicament and get back to the current year, they grow closer and take a road trip into the desert as Y2K begins. Lighthearted and nostalgic, this audiobook is a perfect road trip listen. C.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
